Army of Bling

Army of Two does indeed allow you to encase your weapons in precious metals and gems. Hit this link for a review of the game.

This is starting to turn into a trend. A week ago, I shared a screenshot of my hard earned Call of Duty 4 golden AK-47:

This silliness was probably inspired by an actual AK-47 that once belonged to Saddam Hussein:

Army of Two takes the ostentatiousness to all new levels:

As if a .50 cal sniper rifle wasn't flashy enough, you can now encase it in gold and platinum.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 hits us in a few days. I enjoyed its predecessor immensely, despite its numerous flaws (it exhibited the kind of glitches you'd expect from a first-generation game). The big draw was four player co-op. I'm sad to report that the upcoming sequel only offers two player co-op. WTF? The host plays the same as single player - commanding three A.I. idiot-bots, and the guest can run around independently.

I'm expecting Rainbow Six Vegas 2 to be highly polished and offer great gameplay, but the lack of four player co-op is immensely disheartening. I'd trade shiny guns for more human players any day.
